LAMAR TO BE JUDGE.
Gov. Pattison Will Probably Become
Secretary.

WASHINGTON, Oct 14.-Secretary Lamar
has not as yet been formally rendered the
appointment to the vacancy on the United
States Supreme Court bench, created by
the death of Justice Woods, but he has
every reason to believe that he will receive
it. the President has told several gentle
men that he proposes to appoint Secretary
Lamar to this place. There is a general
belief among gentlemen who have
talked with the President recently
about this subject, that Secretary Lamar's
successor at the head of the Interior De-
partment will probably be Northern man.
Gov. Pattison, of Pennsylvania, seemed to
be considered the most likely to receive this
appointment The President likes him, and
admires his ability and energy. His inves-
tigation of the Pacific railroad problems
gives him an advantage in point of knowl-
edge that very few public men possess. He
would be able as Secretary of the Interior
to deal intelligently with the Pacific rail
road. This is an important consideration
in the Presidents mind

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-The Department
of State has been officially advised of the
appointment of Sir Charles Tupper, of
Canada, as one of the British Fishery Com

that the approaching negotiations will be
confined to the subject of fisheries, and that
this government has never contemplated or
proposed discussion of the subject of a com
mercial union by the negotiators. In re-
spect to the published statement that the
British Commissioners intend to offset our
claim of jurisdiction over the water of Beh

between headlands, it is stated positively
that the Department of State has never
taken the position that could be construed
either as asserting or denying any right OF
